"Julia Page’s topiary soldiers function as a provocative illustration of the timely sentiment “Bringing the War Home.” Covered in creeping, well-clipped vines, these hulking male figures, wielding chlorophyll grenades and leafy automatic weapons, are the ultimate lawn ornament. They’re figures that suggest the ways we have grown comfortable with our media-shaped concepts of military heroism, while implying that our armed forces may move slowly enough for plants to take root."
